COMMISSIONED WATERCOLOR PORTRAITS
Send me your photo of people or pets. I will splish and splash to create a watercolor portrait that maintains a strong likeness with a stylish, slightly abstract, jazzy watercolor effect .
"Sharon": Birthday Gift. Sketched from a small photo. 'Angelina': Protrait created to illustrate likeness.
Irridescent liquid colors were used for style.
Nicole": Created to illustrate "likeness". Special requests for backgrounds and poses are welcome.
Vic": Retirement gift "Phyl": Remembrance gift
An interview is conducted with each client to determine the best
selection of photos. As with the above portraits, a strong light
source with shadowing is preferred.
"Kris": Children portraits [see kids gallery]
Portraits are created from a single photo,
as in this painting of Kris; pets, children,
adults and objects can be combined using
several of your personal photos.
"Border collie": Pet portrait [see pet gallery]. Often,
portraits are created with a central image and an additional smaller image.
"Rice": wedding portrait gift. Special effects simulating rice are added in the painting on the left. On the right, a floral background was added to a wedding photo as requested.
[see portrait gallery]
"xookie": colors, backgrounds, photographic angles, and details
are altered for originality. Here an extreme close-up is
utilized. Click 'PETS' to see more paintings of cats.
